Chapter 178: Ch 178 : The Impending Despair
On a small, narrow reef not far from Tenrou Island, the Council's troops, whose battleship had been destroyed by Azuma, were now gathered.
"Alright, is everyone safe? Move the wounded to the tents set up on the reef and quickly tend to their injuries. The equipment repairs can wait," ordered Lahar, the captain of the Fourth Independent Custody Enforcement Unit of the newly formed Council.
He had previously been responsible for arresting Jellal and Richard during the Oracion Seis incident.
"Next, we will commence the island landing operation. Those who are ready—" Lahar was in the middle of speaking when a man suddenly appeared beside him out of thin air.
The man had a buzz cut, wore a red-and-orange striped outfit, and bore a scar on his face.
His body was covered in wounds.
Seeing this man in such a state, Lahar was momentarily stunned before asking in surprise, "Doranbolt? How could someone with your skills be so badly injured?"
"I'm fine. What about the condition of the battleship?" Mest—no, he should be called Doranbolt—shook his head, indicating that he was not seriously injured, and then shifted the conversation to the status of the battleship.
"It's not in perfect condition, but fortunately, no one was killed," Lahar replied with a slight tone of relief.
"Is the communication lacrima still functional?"
"It's still intact, fortunately. What exactly is happening on the island?"
